> Fully customizable container-based operating system based on ```NixOS``` running SwayDE.
## What even is this Config?
So I believe I have no life, so I migrated from a super unstable and limited OS (DOS) to FreeBSD, however FreeBSD had limited packages being maintained on **Fresh Ports** so I figured might as well become a Linux user. After distro hopping for 3 months I was introduced to NixOS by [Youwen](https://youwen.dev) claiming that it would solve my problems of having to configure everything on seperate directories, common on most distros such as Arch or Debian.
## Why Sway and Wayland
Wayland provides a more stable graphical enviornment due to the simplicity of the code and it's security; moreover, it peforms significantly better on intergrated and discrete graphics cards for most of my systems. Why Sway and not Hyprland? Sway is a simple port of the popular x11 DE known as i3. Hyprland has too much eyecandy for a DE, too much bells and whistles such as dynamic colors and rounded edges. Also removing eyecandy on my config makes my input smoother and crispier.

## Why switch to Hyprland
Although Sway is a reliable and well developed window manager, it doesn't offer the same versatility as Hyprland in Wayland. Hyprland, although has too much eyecandy, it does offer a more polished and complete operating system especially to display beautiful color scheme. I adopted youwen's Hyprland configuration because it is preconfigured and it has all that I need in terms of productivity in this operating system.
